Modded ASUS P5Q/Pro/Deluxe/Premium BIOS

[Ket]

I'm surprised to see that there is still interest in the P5 series boards, but some people are still running them. I flashed several of your mBIOSes to my P5Q Pro "back in the day"
They helped to keep my interest in the board going.

A bit off-topic, but it's your thread so correct me if I'm off-base:
I just noticed you are running a Sandy Bridge machine. How is that Asrock board? I ask because I will eventually be going there, but haven't a clue what board to get this time (not that there is much to choose from until the B3's are all in stock). I have done well with my current EVGA P55 board (which I got at a very good discount on sale) but their P67 boards are awol for now. A Maximus IV would be nice but they are too bloody expensive

My Extreme4 is awesome. I've not had any problems with it and as of UEFI 1.6A its a damn near perfect board to work with

Hi ket.
Just wondering, how did you fix it?
The last time I bought a "working pull" board was years ago, some BH6 back in 2002(?) and it was, of course DOA (Homie back at motherboardrepair.com was able to revive the chipset (which he said was bad) as well as doing a cap job...

The seller was of course, a jackass and a liar....if I had known better, I would have filed a claim with paypal, advertising fraud...

You can hardly trust anything, these days...
Luckily, the last qx9650 seller who was selling chips, was indeed selling them new (including one that did 4 ghz at 1.28v to someone i sold the chip to later), but my P5w board (4 pin connector) burnt almost fully not long after getting the new chip...thus now I'm on SB.

(funny thing is, the board still works..if you can get a solid connection on the 4 pin, but its risky...may sell it as "not working" if I can be bothered....might just trash it...shipping costs won't be worth the price I may get...)

Well, on that note I thought I fixed the board... until I plugged in the second memory stick. Turns out DIMM banks A1 and A2 are borked.. seller deffinately bullted. Not sure how I'm gona fix the DIMM banks yet. Apart from the DIMM banks though I've managed to fix the rest of the board.

I'm blind or is there no deluxe Bios in the package above?

Fixed. Dunno how the P5Q Deluxe mBIOS didn't get in the package.
